Finding the right friends: Stromal composition influences TLS formation in ovarian cancer

Lloyd Bod · 2024-10-31

In this issue of Cancer Cell, MacFawn et al. reveal that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) vary significantly by anatomical site. They highlight a distinct stromal composition associated with TLS formation, with cancer-educated mesenchymal stem cells (CA-MSCs) inversely linked to TLS activity and patient prognosis.
